Dannii Minogue has revealed that she prefers to go for simple, classic items of clothing rather than trendy pieces.
The star said that her style icons inspire her to invest in classic pieces for her wardrobe.
She told website MailOnline: "I like keeping things simple and chic, and aim to look ladylike. If you look at whose style has stayed popular over the years - Grace Kelly, Audrey Hepburn and Sophia Loren - it was all about not overdoing it or being trend-driven. I will add some trendy items to my wardrobe, but I prefer classic or investment buys."
Minogue added that she also took fashion tips from her grandmother, who taught her how to alter outfits.
"I remember learning my love of fashion and design from my grandmother. She had six children and loved making her own things on the sewing machine, which gave me a good grounding in pattern cutting and how outfits are put together.
"Knowing how to sew is a godsend when it comes to personalising outfits. Being petite and curvy, I often need to shorten things and get them nipped in. Kylie's a much better sewer than me."
